His choice. Rowe then attempted to enter him without a condom - at this point everything should have stopped. Indeed we're at the point of illegality. But he decided, HE DECIDED, to carry on. He stated he GAVE HIM the condom and said 'I'm trusting you' - when Rowe had proven he was not to be trusted. He let him put on the condom, he didn't supervise or check the condom was on and then let him enter him. Moreover, he could have felt that it was an unsheathed penis - there is a difference. He made all the choices, decisions to go through with it, he abnegated responsibility for himself. He let it happen. He is not Rowe's victim.

[@TigerBlackTigerBlackTigerBlack]

@@Soul56293 I don't know or I don't care if you're trolling but if you're not and you genuinely don't know this then this is kind of how it goes, cure is an umbrella term for anything that treats you of any sort of ailment. Surgery could be a cure. Penicillin can be a cure, and maybe rx glasses, prescriptions, you name it, well all be you actually did! Vaccine would definitely be a cure! So yes, there might be a vaccine! But, it could also be CRISPR-Cas9 injected with saline very similar to how we are given vaccines but, just a little bit different so technically would be named something after the individual that perfected it more than likely or whatever it gets named. But, that could very much be a cure where it can rewrite our genome to just naturally have a resistance to it all together so we can't catch it at all. But, like a lot of things, there has to be a lot of hardcore study on this so we will see what happens. 💛

@Simply me you wrong! modern drugs now .... HIV-positive patients can expect to live long just as a non-positive people and have happy lives. Treatments are different from 20 0r 30 years ago. People have antiretroviral treatment that makes the virus undetectable and untransmittable to others. Hiv+ can have babies... that's why bareback sexual activities came back at full speed around people. Misinformation of yours and stigma persist in part because of poor sex education you may have at this moment. One pill a day can make HIV undetectable... accept this as a vaccine every single day of your life until the cure is ahead. Hiv is not a death sentence anymore!

Agatha Ngenzirabona - Exactly. I was best friends with the clinic when I was dating after separating and eventually divorcing my husband! Where I live (at that time, dont know what it is now) U were allowed free hiv testing every 6 months. If u came in between 6 months it was sliding scale, so still affordable. I dont know if people forget doctors exist or what.....AND I still used condoms. But I wanted to know what I was looking at in case of condom mishaps. And this is why.

Also, after the man tried to force himself on him without a condom, he made the choice to still trust him. WHY? So...yea...he should take accountability for his stupid choices too. I would have NEVER met this guy after he insists on having sex without a condom and I would have thrown him out of my house the minute he tried go force himslef on me without a condom!

@Deja Boo we too often confuse blame and responsibility. we are all accountable to our inner voice. i imagine his warned him about a man insisting on having unprotected sex. but the jerk calling him stupid is out of line. he is not to be blamed for someone else's actions, but certainly he is responsible for his own sexual health and for the dangers of having sex with a stranger.

[@mrshonourable]

Deja Boo How can he love and trust someone he just meet on a gay hook up app? He’s responsible for trusting his safety in the hands of a stranger, who didn’t want to use the condom in the first place. There were warning signs and he ignored them because he wanted to get laid.

I mean, that’s a good thought but at the same time you need to realize the gay community has a lot of repressed sexual tension. Not using it as an excuse but when some people finally come out, they literally go ham because they have had to hide that part of themselves for so long. The best thing anyone can do is take the right safety precautions. That means wearing a condom and not putting your trust into those who give you multiple red flags.
